Abstaining from Meat Part 1
Paul calls abstaining from meats a doctrine of devils and hypocritical lies. Paul went completely contradictory to the teachings of Jesus and his disciples. The Church uses the Christ’s teaching, that “nothing that goes into a man defiles him” to prove he taught that it is alright to eat flesh meat.
However, the majority of what Jesus and his disciples taught and lived show clearly that this could never have been what he was teaching. This was a false doctrine that Paul taught, knowingly, in contradiction to Jesus and his disciples. James, the brother of Jesus, was made the head of the Christian movement in Jerusalem by Jesus himself.
What Jesus was not only focused on was abolishing the cruel practice of sacrificing animals to eat the meat of their bodies, but the ritual itself, as a means of redemption. Animal sacrifice that the Jews practiced was a heathen practice they absorbed and modified that Jesus also came to do away with. It seems animal sacrifice was, to him, not only a form of idolatry, but also cruelty to animals.
Opinion: It’s possible that Jesus considered the ritual of animal sacrifice as a form of idolatry. In the case of the Heathen, it was idolatry.
Paul belittled believers and called them “weak” because they didn’t have “faith” to eat the meat of animals. It seems that Paul thought it was alright to sit and eat meat offered to idols in order to “become one” with them in order to “win them” over to Christ.

“I came to end the animal sacrifices, and if you do not stop making sacrifices, the wrath of God will not leave you alone.” (Gospel of the Hebrews) (Jesus, cited from Epiphanius, Panarion 3:16)
